Finally finished the game after tones of all nighters (but still gotta get some achievements) and this has really been such a beautiful game and it has made me want to bawl my eyes out alot!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻💗💗💗💗💗💗
i didn't get this on itch, i have it on gog, absolutely love it, clean and the ability to scroll back using the mouse wheel is a life saver when you missclick as much as i do (i have dysgraphia and dyspraxia, its a pain and i make do) but i wanna ask, since over time i do wanna support the devs, im just curious to know, if i subscribe to the patreon, do i get the dlc independently or from from the patreon itself?
(i ask cus between not being tech savvy at all and simply just not being familiar with how any of this works, im kinda a touch lost on what to do)
I'm glad you like it! The Patreon is for bonus content, it can't be used like a storefront that sells DLC keys for other sites like Itch, GOG, or Steam. Backing there gets you sneak peeks to our upcoming game and can give you extra Our Life: Beginnings & Always Moments that aren't available anywhere besides Patreon.
i thank you, i presume dlc has to be acquired separately like how i grabbed the voiced names dlc from here then? if so, i'll definitely subscribe to the patreon
Hey, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I ended up getting the second Derek CG despite not having any of the DLC. I don't have any issue with it of course, but I'm just confused as to why it happened.
Also, congrats to the whole studio for having the top game on all of Itch.
This game is focused on growing up with a little boy. If you'd like to romance a girl, you can follow the development of the next game in the Our Life series- https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life-nf
i love Baxter, but he seriously could NOT keep it in his pants the first time he appeared on-screen. like, some of the first things he did were grin flirtatiously, invite himself over to where the player and Cove were standing, and then flirt(?) with Cove. and then he said he wouldn't be opposed to FUCKING US?? like, sir, we just met and you're already dripping all over my driveway- please calm down. that being said, i'm thoroughly enamored with him and will probably buy his DLC when i can. i love the game, and i can't recommend it enough<33.
I realized just now that I've never left a review on this game which is a horrible error on my part. Anyways!!
I bought both the Derek and the Baxter dlc's, and I intend to buy all of the other dlc's too because I always need more Cove in my life <3 If anyone is feeling unsure about buying any of the dlc's, please do! The content is amazing as expected and there's so much more story waiting for you, not only with Cove but with other characters we didn't get to see a lot of in the main game!
This game... Where to start?? It made me cry more than once, both tears of joy and of sadness lol. I especially enjoyed the ways in which we interacted with our family and friends. Growing up with Cove and my sister, getting to know Cove's mom and dad, getting up to crazy shenanigans with our friends, all of it was and is enjoyable for me. Paired with the beautiful art and the different routes you can take in developing your relationship with Cove, it's an AMAZING game. One of my most favorite visual novels out there currently.
I can't put into words on how much I love this sm. I was just looking at games to play then I saw this- I COULD NEVER IMAGINE I WOULD BE ATTACHED TO IT 😭💔
Definitely gonna be downloading all the dlcs when I can. < 333
Do you feel as though your flesh doesn't belong to you? When you fall into a sea of darkness, do your lung inflate from the weight of your sins. If you die will the suffering from this hell hole ever end? I will relive you from the weight of your corrupted and decayed flesh. Let me wear your skin. I will bare the weight of your sinful ways. I will take what I desire. I am the prophet. The savior of this hell scape. I will relinquish the filth that rots this earth. You will suffer as I erase your petty existence. Nobody will hear your screams of agony.
I've been wanting to ask. I downloaded the Steam version including the DLC. Is there anyway to play the paid DLC on my phone without buying it again? T-T
COMO FAZ PRA TER UM COVE NA VIDA REAL????! Mano, simplesmente APAIXONADA nesse game, eu amei cada personagem e momento que passamos com eles, as mães da MC são as coisas mais lindas, sempre que elas apareciam eu me derretia de amor 💖
Minhas cenas favoritas com certeza são as da colina, me dá uma sensação tão gostosa de paz, ver eles caçando os vagalumes me deixou com lágrimas nos olhos. Outra que eu amo é a da viagem em família (onde a gente convida o Cove pra deitar com a gente) CARA como eu AMO essa cg, ele deitadinho todo envergonhado a coisa MAIS FOFA.
Eu gosto bastante como o Cove reage quando você faz algumas ações com ele (como sentar em cima dele) fica muito real como ele sempre lembra que você faz isso em outras ocasiões.
Eu COM CERTEZA vou comprar as dlcs, por que quase um dia 1 dia jogando esse game não é o suficiente, ele é tão bom que deveria ser infinito, eu realmente fiquei chocada que ele é gratuito (imagino o trabalho pra fazer uma obra de arte dessas) já até baixei o outro jogo de vocês (Our life: now anda forever) e estou muito ansiosa para jogar! Muito obrigada por essa experiência fofa e tão relaxante 💜
This is one of the best games I ever played. But now I'm having a problem, the game keeps closing when I try to play it. I played Our Life Now and Forever and everything was okay but with Our Life Beginings and Always I'm having this problem. Maybe it could just be my phone that can't run the game or something like that. I really love this game, I wish I could play it soon.
I know im late but if you still have the problem maybe try deleting jt and re-downloading it? Or just re-download it without deleting, it could be because of an update or something that you need to re-download it? I think i remember it happening to me and all i did was re-download it.
This game is wonderful. I bought all the dlc, besides the side romances, and i just never wanted it to end. Cove is such a well written and heartfelt character with so much depth, aswell as everyone one else. I fear this game has set my bar to high in regards to romance lol. Legit have no desire to get married irl, but still bought the dlc anyway for this man *sob*.
What I really enjoyed was the flexibility in gender, being able to transition as the story progressed. Those few moments of shared insecurity followed by reassurance was really touching.
Iwas shocked by how emotional i got throughout, which honestly has been really healing since ive feel disconnected from my emotions lately. Ngl, the credits song is something I probably wouldn't enjoy in any other context, but it still manages to make me choked up due to the sheer association of me knowing that the game is coming to a close. *sigh* But I'm excited to play around with more and explore the different sides of the main character.
This Visual novel gave me one of the best feelings ever. First, the way I got to create my character, their personalities, and make choices about them during the time skips made my imagination run wild. Secondly, I always hated exposition in visual novels, but this game made me see exposition a different way, causing me to always imagine the moments. Also I can't forget to include the quirky and memorable characters in the game and the choices you make to impact the relationship with them. As I played from start to finish it was like I was on a journey with these characters, and it felt sad to part ways in the end. Lastly, even though the music was repetitive I loved every bit of it.
This game is so amazing dude. The depth and attention that goes into everything is super noticeable, and it always leaves me in a happy mood.
I have a question about the Android version though. On PC, scrolling the mouse wheel back lets you easily go back and try different choices, or read dialogue you missed. Is there an equivalent to this on the Android version? It's so convenient.
I'm happy you enjoyed the game! Though unfortunately there isn't a way to scroll back on Android. Maybe we can come up with a way to do that at some point.
Best game Ive played, and waiting to get my own credit card to download the dlc`s. Tbh Im so obsessed to a point where Im actually considering to buy an anklet.
If you're on Android, the device saying it has a bug isn't correct. The problem is that the device doesn't have enough space, or the virus scanner is blocking it, or the settings don't allow you to download games not from the Googleplay store. Saying there's a bug is a generic explanation but not actually something we can fix on our end.
hi ^^ I'm having a similar issue on my galaxy tab a7 lite. How much space does it require? My anti-virus is disabled, I've given perms to download unknown apps and it's installed but it crashes every time I hit new game, even when I turn off animations. I have 4.9 GB of storage and 1.1 GB of memory (have upped it to 3 GB and it still crashes), do I need to clear more space or do you think there's another issue with my device?
(Ps, still LOVE this game, on my pc I've replayed it more times than I can count. Definitely an 11/10, it'd just be nice if you guys had any input on if I can get it working on my tablet! If not, that's totally fine!)
If you can actually install it and it won't run than the phone just might not be able to handle the game, especially if it crashes instantly. If you can open the main menu you can try turning off animations on the settings screen. More space could help, but there might not be anything that can be done about that, unfortunately.
This game is AMAZING. I just had my first credit card and the first thing I did was buy the dlc ! Thank you so much for a creating a game that inclusive and such a cute story.
Truly what a masterpiece! perhaps the best visual novel i have ever played. the vast range of possibilities and choices are incredible. i have found myself falling in love with this game over and over again. every playthough offers a unique experience. I am truly astonished by the quality of this game! as a patreon myself, i simply cannot wait to see what comes of Now and Forever. and if Now and Forever is even a fraction as good as this game, it will be an amazing experience.
i truly recommend this game to all. an amazing 9.5/10 experience. what a great job, GBPatch!
so, my dlcs dont seem to be working even when i've done the proper transfer process for rpa files. i can't open up the game either and it says there's a script error. does this mean i need to download the latest update and then it will work?
(edit: i still have the version from around 2 years ago so maybe that's why its not working)
Yeah, you need the latest version of Our Life for any of the DLCs to work. But deleting your old OL file won't erase your save files or anything, so you can just remove that and download the current version.
Unfortunately played this game during a difficult time in life so I don't have the motivation to write out an entire paragraph, nor did I have the full focus in later game to fully read each and every little detail of text. But from the impression that I got, this is a truly wonderful Visual Novel. While I have my own individual preferences with the way that some of the sprites look, the CGs are always to DIE for. The customisation throughout is off the charts, making it a truly interactive experience, even if I only played through once. And don't even get me started on Cove; what an adorable dork of a love interest. I don't consider myself easily impressed in games where the romance path is optional, but I have to say that from the moment he pulled a Romeo I was hooked. My favourite scene would have to be when he climbs into MC's room with the firefly(twas also the scene in my playthrough where I confessed). Speaking of this, here is where the only bug that I encountered happened. We made it official in one of the moments, however in the later in-between Cove confessed all over again as if the prior moment didn't register. Other than that, though, there were absolutely no technical issues that I noticed and the experience was smooth-sailing(pun intended-ocean themes). Each character feels like their own person and fleshed out just the right amount to feeling like characters from a big-industry production. Going back to interactivity, I must applaud this game's approach to various topics, ranging from sexuality choices/representation, autism and consent. While I'm not apt to comment on all of the above from experience, I've heard the overall sentiment here is that these were handled with tact. Not so much a game as an experience.
OKay so I LOVE THE GAME OMG please please please UPDATE ON SOMETHING OR DROP A NEW SEASON. I honestly see so much potential and besides, I am a sucker now. SO good, omg, highly recommend.
pretty sure you download the files and put them in the folder named "game". Then save and close the game and re-open it it should be there unless you already passed the step. if it doesn't work I am wrong. good luck

I MISS HIM
REAL
Finally finished the game after tones of all nighters (but still gotta get some achievements) and this has really been such a beautiful game and it has made me want to bawl my eyes out alot!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻💗💗💗💗💗💗
i didn't get this on itch, i have it on gog, absolutely love it, clean and the ability to scroll back using the mouse wheel is a life saver when you missclick as much as i do (i have dysgraphia and dyspraxia, its a pain and i make do) but i wanna ask, since over time i do wanna support the devs, im just curious to know, if i subscribe to the patreon, do i get the dlc independently or from from the patreon itself?
(i ask cus between not being tech savvy at all and simply just not being familiar with how any of this works, im kinda a touch lost on what to do)
I'm glad you like it! The Patreon is for bonus content, it can't be used like a storefront that sells DLC keys for other sites like Itch, GOG, or Steam. Backing there gets you sneak peeks to our upcoming game and can give you extra Our Life: Beginnings & Always Moments that aren't available anywhere besides Patreon.
i thank you, i presume dlc has to be acquired separately like how i grabbed the voiced names dlc from here then? if so, i'll definitely subscribe to the patreon
Yeah, the bonus moments are separate builds from the main game. You don't add them to your main our life folder.
Hey, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I ended up getting the second Derek CG despite not having any of the DLC. I don't have any issue with it of course, but I'm just confused as to why it happened.
Also, congrats to the whole studio for having the top game on all of Itch.
Thanks for letting us know! I'm not sure why that happened either, but we'll check it out.
is it possible to fall in love with a girl? or its possible only play gay with cove? is it a yaoi game?
All the love interests are male and u can date them regardless of gender. But you can also be lesbian/bi/pan and just be cove's friend
so basically, cant i date and fall in love with a female?
nope, as far as I know
That's too bad I was really hyped for a second there
This game is focused on growing up with a little boy. If you'd like to romance a girl, you can follow the development of the next game in the Our Life series-

i actually love this game so much that for some reason it breaks my heart to see him
(MINOR STAGE 3 SPOILERS/SUGGESTIVE HUMOR)
i love Baxter, but he seriously could NOT keep it in his pants the first time he appeared on-screen. like, some of the first things he did were grin flirtatiously, invite himself over to where the player and Cove were standing, and then flirt(?) with Cove. and then he said he wouldn't be opposed to FUCKING US?? like, sir, we just met and you're already dripping all over my driveway- please calm down. that being said, i'm thoroughly enamored with him and will probably buy his DLC when i can. i love the game, and i can't recommend it enough<33.
this game made me realize how gay i am for cove. Thanks!
I realized just now that I've never left a review on this game which is a horrible error on my part. Anyways!!
I bought both the Derek and the Baxter dlc's, and I intend to buy all of the other dlc's too because I always need more Cove in my life <3 If anyone is feeling unsure about buying any of the dlc's, please do! The content is amazing as expected and there's so much more story waiting for you, not only with Cove but with other characters we didn't get to see a lot of in the main game!

I truly cannot praise this game enough.
Cove is best boi!
words seriously cannot explain how big of an impact this game had on my life
left me feeling so empty when I finished it and I still cry over cove till this day :'))
This is in Spanish??
Awesome VN. I have one small question: Is Cove's booty hair green too?
HELPP 😭
Having played all the dlc and patreon content, I can say.... yes, it sure is.
OMG ?2?1?!21?2!1? when i get a job this will be the first thing my money goes to...........
I love this comment
I can't put into words on how much I love this sm. I was just looking at games to play then I saw this- I COULD NEVER IMAGINE I WOULD BE ATTACHED TO IT 😭💔
Definitely gonna be downloading all the dlcs when I can. < 333
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAA
i cannot believe this is free, its so good!! HOW did i not click on this when i saw it before??

I dont remember writing this mb
bro what were you on 17 hours ago 😭
maybe they were high
uhhh
HUH????
I've been wanting to ask. I downloaded the Steam version including the DLC. Is there anyway to play the paid DLC on my phone without buying it again? T-T
Buying on Steam can't unlock it on Itch and Steam doesn't support Android. I'm sorry for that!
Oh, it's alright. I'll buy the DLC next time when I have the money. T-T
one of my favorite games !!
I LOVED THIS GAME SM I LOVE COVE THIS WAS SO GOOD <33333
can you give me a explain what the game is about or what can i do in the game please ? :)
just download it :]

Incredible game with incredible writing and incredible cchoices.
Love it
Best game Ive played, and waiting to get my own credit card to download the dlc`s. Tbh Im so obsessed to a point where Im actually considering to buy an anklet.

Aah, alright. No worries then, thank you!
I have enough storage i dunno about the virus scanner but okay thanks
I liked the part when Cove said: "It's Covin' Time!" And Coved all over the place.
Oh and I think Mr. Holden's characterization is very underrated with how believable it is.
probably the most heartwarming and lovable game i've ever had a pleasure of experiencing!! i LOVE coming back to it sm whenever summer's coming up
OMG OMG OMG really like about this game, already played on another platform BUT I REALLY AJGIUGWDBJHAS l
I LOVED PLAYING THIS SO SO SO SO MUCHH
